I ran 4 miles yesterday and loved every minute of it. The weather this week has been gorgeous and unseasonably cool for HOTlanta. I put on some music, headed down to the river and enjoyed a late morning run.
I’m excited for all of my upcoming races – the Black Girls Run! Drive to End Hunger 10K in September; the Rock n Roll Savannah Half Marathon in November and of course the Reggae Marathon in December. The Reggae Marathon is only 100 days away and it’s extra motivation for me to eat right and get my workout on. I’m having visions of bikinis and beaches. Ahem.
Speaking of food here’s yesterday’s eats:
Chocolate and Banana Protein Shake
Kashi Go Lean Crunch w/skim milk and bananas
Apple and almonds
Ginger & Cilantro Tilapia, brown rice and whole green beans
Grapes
Chocolate Chip Brownie Lara Bar
Pineapple Chobani
I also had one glass of red wine yesterday. I’m limiting my drinks, but allowing myself to indulge from time to time.
I went shopping yesterday and bought a large container of spinach salad. I’m going to do my best to include it in someway at least once everyday. Seeing what I’m eating has been huge in helping me control my splurges and identify what I need to delete and add to my diet. It’s a work in progress …

Hey Lorraine! I love this photo food journal your doing…seeing it all laid out in one place gives a visual you could never get from just writing it down. I’ve started photographing a few of my own meals just to see I can keep up. If you don’t mind sharing…what are you using to make the photo collage so you are able to see all the pics from every meal in the same place?

Hi Tonja! Thanks! It truly does make a difference to see what you eat. It makes me think about it more in a positive way. Glad to hear you’re starting your own. I make my collages on a site called picmonkey.com. It’s free and simple to use. I hope that helps!

Thanks so much!

The Evernote Food app is also a cool way to snap pics of your food, shopping, menus and add context.
